See effective data access during project reviews
Bring direct and inherited Unity Catalog permissions into a recurring project review report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Effective Catalog Permissions
Retrieves effective permissions, including inherited access.
Why this helps
Direct grants alone may not show the access a team receives through parent resources.
- Review effective permissions, including inherited access.
- Keep project context close to the access summary.
- Create a repeatable report for follow-up decisions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis which securable's effective permissions to retrieve and how to summarize available AccuLynx project context; supply any relationship that is not returned by either app.
- 4Choose the notis_cron trigger and set the schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Run once against a real example and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from reviewing direct grants?
Effective permissions include privileges conveyed through direct assignments and inheritance. Direct grants alone exclude inherited permissions.
Will the workflow change access?
No. Get Effective Catalog Permissions retrieves permissions for review and does not modify them.
Can it explain why a project needs a permission?
Only when the request or available project data provides that context. Otherwise, the report should leave the reason for access unconfirmed.
